DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

On Sunday, we celebrated Ascension, the remembering of Jesus as he ascended into heaven 40 days after his resurrection. His ascension gives us great hope of his mighty power and his promise to one day return. 

Dear Lord Jesus Christ,

Right before your Ascension into heaven,

you told your apostles to be His witnesses

 to the ends of the earth,

upon receiving the Holy Spirit.

May I be similarly inspired

to spread your Gospel message

in word and deed,

according to your will for me,

as we remember your ascension.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen
